The timing couldn’t be worse as Jobe is on this month of the club’s official 2025 calendar.
Fans who have purchased the official item may be left with an egg on their face if he follows in his brother’s footsteps.
Sunderland beat Sheffield United in the Championship Play-off Final on 24 May, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The 2025/26 season will be Sunderland’s first appearance in the top flight for eight years.
The transfer window officially opened on Sunday (1 Jun).
Football fans were left shocked by the news of Jobe’s potential departure.
Tom Overend said: “Excellent move for Jobe. Best place to develop.”
Andy Lister added: “Be a great move for him.”
One said: “Why’s he trying to copy Jude, embarrassing.”
Another added: “That amount is hilarious, he’s not even that good. Dortmund think he’s going to pan out like his bro.”
One said: “Jude walked so Jobe could sprint into the Bundesliga.”
